The standard photovoltaic effect is directly related to the photoelectric effect, though they are different processes. When the sunlight or any other light is incident upon a material surface, the electrons present in the valence band absorb energy and, being excited, jump to the conduction band and become free. That process leads to the flow of electrons; which is called electric current.

[/apane][apane title=”Grid tied Inverter:”]

A grid-tied inverter is a power inverter that converts direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) with an ability to synchronize to interface with a utility line. Its applications are converting DC sources such as solar panels into AC for tying with the grid.
Residences and businesses that have a grid-tied electrical system are permitted in many countries to sell their energy to the utility grid. Electricity delivered to the grid can be compensated in several ways. The most attractive policy is a feed-in tariff, where the producer is paid for every kilowatt-hour delivered to the grid by a special tariff based on a contract with distribution company or other power authority.

Loss of electricity due to the grid failure and electric current outage.


[/apane][apane title=”Off Grid inverter:”]

It is a power inverter that converts direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) without the need to synchronize to interface with a utility line. Its applications could include as an extra feature to control the batteries charging (charge controller), if storage is needed.


[/apane][apane title=”Deep Cycle Batteries:”]

A deep-cycle battery is designed to discharge between 45% and 75% of its capacity, depending on the manufacturer and the construction of the battery. Although these batteries can be cycled down to 20% charge, the best lifespan vs. cost method is to keep the average cycle at about 45% discharge. There is a direct correlation between the depth of discharge of the battery, and the number of charge and discharge cycles it can perform.
